London, Dec. 1.?"We are in a position of unparalleled gravity," said Admiral Beresford in an address today at a meeting to support a stronger naval measure. "We are bordering upon a crucial time. The submarine menace requires new strategy and new tactics to deal with it, but so far no definite and systematic methods have been taken for suppressing the menace. "The Germans are now going to send submarines to the Pacific and to wherever British trade routes are." Baron Beresford advocated continued aerial attacks on the German base at-Zebrugge and the arming of merchantmen and continued: "It is a most unsatisfactory state of affairs. Thousands of tons of food, which were waiting to come to Vntriorfi have hppn diverted to Ger ? v ? w - ? ?- ? ? _ many." The meeting adopted a resolution calling for a more effective blockade and for more efficient measures to deal with the submarine question. Strong denunciations of the government and its naval policy were made. Besides Baron Beresford, Thomas Gibson Bowles was the principal speaker. Mr. Bowles asserted that "unless the submarine menace is dealt with we shall be blockaded as well as Germany and privation and famine prices will ensue. He added that if an overture for an honorable peace should come with sufficient guarantees, it would be the duty of the government to examine them, but he said he could "see no glimmer of an overture for peace." "I have arrived at the conclusion," the speaker continued, "that this government is no more able to make peace than it is to make war." Mr. Bowles demanded the dissolution of the government and his speech was punctuated with shouts of "turn them out," and similar phrases. A I'oor Substitute. "Do you suppose moving pictures will ever do away entirely with performances on the stage?" "No, indeed," replied the astute theatrical manager.

I Michigan voted to go dry at the j last election, but Henry Ford has a1 plan to swing it back into the wet; column again. He believes that the j breweries in the State, which other- j wise must stand idle, could be cod- j | verted to the manufacture of denat- j | ured alcohol for use in automobiles j j and tractors. For some time experiments have 1 been conducted under Mr. Ford's per- j 1 sonal direction by J. B. Dailey. The j ] results have been so satisfactory that j j a laboratory still for producing de- j natured alcohol on a large scale soon j will be erected. From the results so far attained j Mr. Ford feels that the use of denat-j | ured alcohol will bring about a rev- j olution in the use of liquid fuels in j the industry., The old brewery plants ; can be converted to the manufacture j j of alcohol without changing any of j their present machinery, Mr. Ford 1 declared. A continuous still alone1 j must be added to their present equip-! | ment. "Millions of dollars," declared Mr. i i ; Ford today, "are invested in these1 plants. Economically it would be a; j shameful waste to have them become | idle. But there is no reason why they should become so. Every standard brewery plant anywhere can be transformed at an expense mar is in j j no sense prohibitive from a brewery > i into a distillery for manufacturing j denatured alcohol for use in autoj i i mobiles or other internal combus-; tion engines. "And then with the world's supply of petroleum, and therefore of! | gasoline fast playing out and the day i of alcohol fuel for automobiles and j > tractors just dawning, the present 11 brewery properties are assured a fu' j ture much more useful to the com| munity and quite as profitable to i themselves as has been their past." The raw materials we have used in the laboratories in producing aleo}: hoi cheaply are various kinds of .grains and vegetable substances. Tests were made with corn and ? wheat. Then we tried potatoes, i grapes, cherries, peaches, currants, [1 strawberries, and many other kinds ? of small fruits. Carrots, turnips, beets, sugar cane and wood were al. so used. We also found that the wastes from canneries, such as apple peels and cherry pits; the wastes - from sugar factories and vegetable : tops, usually thrown away on the Construe! Fifty years ag i?

The verdict was handed to the clerk and he read: "We, the jury, find the defendant; i not guilty on all four counts: 0. S.; Barnett> foreman." There was no! demonstration in the court room, j though many of Mr. Watson's friends i pressed forward to congratulate him. j Mr. Watson asked the court if he' might leave and the judge indicated I that he might depart at once. As the jury passed out Mr. Watson shook j the hand of each member. One of the jurors, Mr. J. H. Koeger, of, Grovetown, Ga., embraced him. As the former defendant ' went! down the steps and proceeded toward! his hotel he was congratulated by' former Governor Joseph M. Brown, Judge H. H. Twiggs and others. Mr.!
